One such type is ‘participatory creativity’, which is explored through a cross-cutting secondary school study. Aimed at the creation of a soundtrack based on cooperative compositional methods, we aspired to gain an in-depth understanding of the participatory processes involved in creative learning. Data was gathered through observation, interviews, a classroom diary, classroom assessments, questionnaires and video and audio recordings. In the findings, students’ participation was identified in three forms: (1) decision-making; (2) shared goal, which encouraged a group sense of identity, high motivation (individual and social), positive emotions (multidimensional and dual) and the construction of meaningful musical experiences from their musician’s role; and (3) enculturation in the creative process. Participatory creativity could be construed as a paradigmatic approach in secondary education.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article1469-9893https://doi.org/10.1080/14613808.2019.1703922metadata only access37.0278:37159.928:78373.5Participatory creativityMusical creativitiesParticipationCooperative compositionSpanish secondary schoolsEscuelas de educación secundariaCreatividad musicalAptitudes musicalesEducaciónEnseñanza secundariaEnseñanza de la Música5899 Otras Especialidades Pedagógicas
